As long as it is not growing, does not hurt, has no change in color etc it is likely scar tissue. Something to bring up though :)

Definitely call your doctor and ask. There is no harm in it but there could be harm in it if you don't ask.

Coming from a gal who had an infection in that same site. I'm sure glad I asked. :)

True... When you have surgery anything you feel weird about ask. If I never would had call my doctor & had endoscopy my stomach would still be closed & I would end up in the hospital for vomiting non stop all day. Listen to your body. Better Safe then sorry.
